10 Wrestling Facts We Didn't Know Last Week (Nov 26)
7. WWE Producers Offered To Pay For Brie Bella To Get Breast Implants
Recently, former WWE ring announcer Lilian Garcia launched her own podcast series. Entitled 'Making Their Way To The Ring', Garcia was joined by Brie Bella on the debut episode to discuss the female wrestler's career and relationship with the company over the years. In the midst of the chat, Bella revealed one very interesting fact.
Introduced to the company by way of the now-defunct Diva Search, Brie and her sister Nikki tried out for the competition in 2006. Eventually, they failed to make the cut, although both would later be hired and sent to Florida Championship Wrestling the following year.
Standing in front of the judges for the Diva Search, Brie was horrified when she was asked by WWE producers if she'd let them pay for breast implants. Already knowing she didn't have the big breasts many other women on WWE programming did, Bella felt like she was being put on the spot by management.
Embarrassed, she nonetheless turned the request down. It was never really brought up again, although it was a nerve-wracking moment for Brie.
